FaryalKhan Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, I was going through education based categories of Pakistan, more specifically the category which is supposed to list the schools of Pakistan but when i saw 0 listed schools i was pretty surprised. I was wondering if anyone could have a look at that category, as their are hundreds of schools in here(If not thousands!). This would really help parents and students who are aware of the Open Directory and wish to look for a school in Pakistan.
jimnoble Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 If you are referring to Regional/Asia/Pakistan/Education/Schools, perhaps you could suggest some . Make sure that they have significant English language content.
FaryalKhan Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 If you are referring to Regional/Asia/Pakistan/Education/Schools,. Oh hi Jim, Yup i was referring to that category^. Make sure that they have significant English language content. Well, all these schools are one of the top in Pakistan and English is the primary language, so no need to worry on that part! perhaps you could suggest some Some of the well known schools are, Karachi Grammar School - www.kgs.edu.pk British Overseas Karachi - www.bos-karachi.com Bay view Academy - www.bva.edu.pk Aitchison College - www.aitchison.edu.pk Lahore Grammar school - www.lgs.edu.pk The Cas School - www.cas.edu.pk The Lyceum School - www.lyceumschool.edu.pk Froebels School - www.froebels.edu.pk And there are many many more! Let me know if you need more schools to list!
jimnoble Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 No need to tell me. Just use the suggest URL link at the top of the category page.
motsa Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 In Regional, schools are typically listed at the lowest geographic level that fits their locations. So, for example, schools in Quetta are listed in Regional/Asia/Pakistan/Provinces/Balochistan/Localities/Quetta/Education/ and Karachi schools are listed in Regional/Asia/Pakistan/Provinces/Sindh/Localities/Karachi/Education/. The country-level categories would typically be for online schools or schools with locations in multiple provinces. I suspect the Schools subcategory is no longer required and is just a holdover from a previous layout of the category, hence the reason it is empty. If you look at http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Pakistan/Education/, you'll see links to the various lower geographic levels that have Education subcategories.
FaryalKhan Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Hey Motsa, Thank you for the clarification. Now i understand why there aren't any sites listed there, there aren't many listed in the lower geographical levels too but i'll just suggest some using the suggest a site link! Thanks guys, for taking out the time to explaining all this too me, much appreciated!
